No. Unfortunately, this is no longer allowed. The pre-shoot process requires direct interaction and input from the lady that will be shooting, so while you may make the payment for her, I will need her direct email address and contact information in order to book her shoot. Communication with her directly is required.

I see lots of models in Beans gear, can that be purchased by anyone or only girls that shoot with you?

I post my work to a wide variety of social media accounts. Different things are posted to each one. For details on where to find nudes, or behind the scenes access, or videos from shoots, etc... please visit the Social Media page HERE.

Where will we be shooting, a studio, outside, hotel, etc?

We shoot indoors, in a studio (it's an apartment condo complex). It's a primary natural light location with large windows. In cases of overcast and no sunlight, the studio is fully equipped with professional studio lighting. You can see a few photos and find out more about the studio HERE.

Where is the studio located and what is it like?

We are located in the Greater New Orleans, Louisiana area. To find out what the studio looks like on the inside and more information about what's in here please visit the Studio page HERE.

At the time of writing this answer, I have had close to 30 ladies fly-in to New Orleans to shoot. About half of those ladies stayed in studio for their weekend of shooting.

Yes. Ladies are allowed to switch their shoot day ONE TIME if they decide they need to. As long as I am notified 7 days before the scheduled shoot.

How long does the photo shoot last?

Each photo shoot type has a set number of hours that is allowed for shooting, you can find those details on the Pricing and Rates page here.

There are usually light snacks (fruit, nuts, etc...) in studio available but you are more than welcome to bring little drinks and snacks if you have signed up for a longer shoot and need them.

No. The hair and makeup artist will leave after completing your look before we start shooting.

Yes, but only if both ladies have already done individual shoots with Beansfotos before. No new faces during group shoots.

Can I bring anyone with me to the shoot?

No one is allowed to stay in studio once hair and makeup through shooting is going on. All shoots are closed and private to everyone.

No. If your shoot type comes with or you have added the professional hair and make services, then this will be taken care of already for you.

The only way to make sure nothing is posted about your shoot at all, make sure you pick the Gift/Private shoot type. More information on the Pricing and Rates page HERE.

No. All shoots are closed and private. There are tons of attractions, malls, sports bars and eating places that are in the area.

Should I have my lady parts waxed/bleached?

If you are planning or open to doing nude or implied shots, then I do recommend a very fresh shave or waxing. Bleaching is up to you.

What's the best day to come in, Friday or Saturday?

No. I will block any one that makes rude, negative or inappropriate comments on my social media post, but those are not by request of the ladies.

Yes, I help in all steps of the process for ladies who have chosen the Power, SEXI or Gift/Private shoot types (more information HERE) and also for ladies who purchased submission edit sets from the Shop page HERE.

Why are certain models featured more frequently than others?

This could be for a number or reasons. In most cases it just means I have more edits of that model completed.

I don't know how to pose or do facial expressions, is that okay?

Yes. I will show you every single pose and how to do them. I also will couch you with tons of tips and tricks for getting the right facial expressions.

Will I be comfortable while I'm shooting or will it be awkward?

This is a question you should ask any lady that I have worked with in the past about. They will be able to answer this question best. You can take a look at some of the feedback from other ladies I've worked with HERE.

What if I'm not in the shape I want to be?

We are always our own toughest critic and it's human nature to never be satisfied with ourselves, so I encourage ladies to not let this deter them from shooting. Let's discuss your situation individually.

What do we do while we aren't shooting?

Each fly-in is different so the trip is customized based on things you may want to do or see and also depending on when you get in town and how much time is available.

Do you have female toiletries in studio?

Yes. I suggest ladies still bring personal items like a toothbrush, but in studio there are hair dryers, flat irons, and most female items that would be needed. Please ask if there is something specific you are looking for.

What areas of town would you recommend staying in?

If you looking for a hotel near the studio, then I suggest the Veterans Memorial Blvd / Causeway area. If you are looking to be in the heart of the action, then downtown New Orleans is where you should look. It's about 10 min from the studio so not a bad drive.

Do I have to bring my own cloths/outfits to wear or are there outfits available there for me to use? I'm concerned your outfits may not fit me.

I have over 120 outfits in studio in a wide variety of sizes, after booking you will get information to a gallery to view all outfits and sizing details. You are still welcomed to bring your own outfits if you would like or if you think nothing I have will fit you.

Is there anything I shouldn't bring to shoot in (swimsuits/jerseys etc)?

Just keep in mind that my style of photography is based on my branding of SEXI. While I don't tell ladies not to bring anything, the more difficult it is to make an item sexy, the less likely we are to use it.

Will I be asked to try poses I'm not comfortable with?

Your boundaries will be pushed and I will make tons of suggestions to you, but you will not be forced to do anything and can always say no to a pose you are not comfortable with.

Can I smoke in the studio?

No, but you can smoke outside.

What happens if I decide to stop modeling; what happens to my photos?

You will still have access to your proofs if you ever want/need the gallery loaded back up. If you wish not to be tagged anymore in photos, that is also perfectly fine. Edits that were completed of you may still be posted, but your name and tag won't be used when posting your photos.

Are there other products besides prints that I can purchase with my photos on them, such as air fresheners, posters, etc.?

Yes. There is a wide variety of products available to you. Setting you up to sell these products is not something that is offered to every lady. Make sure your shoot type is the Power, SEXI or Gift/Private shoot. For more information look for Product Development & Sales on the Rates page HERE.

Can I buy prints and products of my photos to sell on my own?

Yes. Make sure your shoot type is the Power, SEXI or Gift/Private shoot. For more information look for Product Development & Sales on the Rates page HERE.

Why are some photos up longer than others on your Instagram?

Photos posted on my Instagram account have 7 days to reach 2,000 likes. If it does not, then it is removed after the 7th day.
